3 Agenda FX Composer 2.5 Shader Debugger PerfHUD

4 FX Composer 2.5 Increase productivity Refine usability Improve stability Improve performance Enable Direct3D10 First host for the NVIDIA Shader Debugger

5 Usability & Productivity Start Page Effect Wizard Toolbar Large icons More menu access Graphics API Toggle

6 Usability & Productivity Automatic light binding Bind to nearest light SAS driven Code Snippets Commonly used code User-extensible Examples Textures and samples Techniques and passes Render state blocks

7 Models & Styles Models are complete files DAE, FBX, etc. Styles are collections of material for a model Update your model without fear of losing styles Use models many times In a scene With different styles

8 DirectX 10 Geometry shaders Texture arrays Stream out Picture includes Explosion(GS) Particles(GS,SO) Pipes(GS,TA,SO)

9 Particle Systems Simple emitters for designing effects Not for complex simulation Predefined templates to start Fire Smoke Fireworks Water fountain Customizable parameters

10 Shader Debugger Most desired feature in user surveys Debugging is not trivial Constantly modifying shaders Understanding rendered output Distinguishing between materials Supports HLSL (current & legacy), Cg Debug single and multiple pixels Available as a plug-in to FX Composer 2.5

11 Shader Debugger Stepping through code Run to cursor Next Statement Next Bookmark Visualize variables Single or multiple pixel Conditional kill Watch expressions
